A ruler or similar flat article is provided with an upstanding handle in the form of a decorative design. The ruler and handle may be formed by a photoetch or chemical milling process, with full etching through the metal at edges and partial etching at the design elements in the body portion and handle portion. The handle portion can be unitarily formed and bent at a partially etched join line, and then reinforced using a solder or a braze. Brass or another metal may be used. The partially etched design detail in the handle portion creates a textured surface that facilitates gripping.
